Synopsis
Although she is seventeen, Belinda is treated as a child in the Southern village where she lives with her supposed father, Judge Lee. Frustrated, she arranges a "growing-up" party and appears, to her guests' astonishment, as a young woman in a long dress and with her hair up. That night, escaped convict Sanford goes to Judge Lee's home for revenge because the judge had ruled against him. When Sanford discovers that Belinda is his child, he convinces her that, although convicted, he is innocent of murdering a bank employee. Belinda, with the help of her sweetheart Bob, hides him when the police come and then goes to New York with him to track down the lover of the bank president. After Belinda arranges for detectives to overhear the lover's confession that the bank president is the murderer, Sanford is acquitted and Belinda returns to Bob.
